The fart patio at Avo is sublime
Posted by raw rectum

Raw food restaurants have been around for years, I remember chatting with a fellow ten years ago about his favorite raw restaurant at a show. Fad maybe, but that was almost a decade ago.

Well, that anecdote about you talking to someone you didn't know, a decade ago, at a must venue, really puts the popularity of raw food restaurants into perspective. They're almost like diners in New Jersey.

I've got nothing against raw food as a once in a while thing. I don't eat hot chicken all the time, or country ham or doughnuts.

I just realized I bombed this thread I'm sorry I meant it for the open thread. I will put a review there

Despite the juvenile postings above, I will say that I adore Avo. I am a vegetarian, but not full vegan or raw food advocate.

What veggie professional cat said.

I'd not heard of this place but I plan to visit---soon!

Why thank you for the love! It's a bumper crop of local cookbooks this year--a sign of things to come, I hope.

Maybe best post ever, raw.

Huzzah!

Several years ago, our family agreed that turkey really wasn't high on our list and the only reason we had it was because it was a Thanksgiving tradition. So we broke from that and started having beef tenderloin.

I am going to Athens Family Restaurant, for their wonderful Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. Still one of my favorite restaurants!

trying my hand at the carrot souffle recipe from the blackberry farm cookbook. also may revisit my successful past experiment: bourbon cranberry chocolate upside down cake.

Made it to the tap takeover at Hop Stop last night and tried several of the seasonal selections. I especially enjoyed the Tamarind Pucker and the Delayed Reaction, but the Summer Salt, Tarte le Blanche, and Weird de Garde were also very good.

Ridiculously over-priced taste-free excuse for "Italian food" no matter where they shove it.

Mmm, "savory chickpea Yule log"...

I eat vegan several times a week but I must say, those four words do not go together. If I tried shaping bean paste into a log shape and serving it to my relatives, I would never hear the end of it.

The Saint--I should have elaborated on that one a bit further...it's made with chickpea *flour* not the actual beans, so it has the cake-like texture of a traditional yule log. Sorry for the confusion!

Lesley,
That sounds a lot better than the wet bean log I was imagining. I've never used chickpea flour in a dessert, I pretty much keep it around to make socca exclusively.

Backstraps, venison. Sliced thin, rolled in seasoned flour and fried.
